About Us

We are a residential care home in Cheltenham, providing a home for older people who need help with daily living but who do not require nursing care.

We try to run the place so that it belongs to the people who live in it. Residents have their own rooms with their own belongings, get up and go to bed when they choose and decide how they want to spend their days. Meals are cooked here and we listen when somebody says they would rather have something else. Much of what makes a care home worth living in is small and unglamorous: being helped to wash without being rushed, a hot drink at the time you actually want it, somebody noticing when you have gone quiet and sitting down with you.

Family and friends are welcome whenever they would like to come, and we would always rather a relative raised a concern straight away than saved it for a formal moment. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places, and a planned short break can give a relative who provides care at home the rest they need to carry on.

At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us outstanding overall. We are pleased with that and conscious that a rating describes a particular moment. What keeps it true is the ordinary daily work and listening when somebody tells us something is wrong.

Please come and see the home for yourself.
